- Inside Minnesota Soccer was at the NSC Minnesota Supporters Summit. I think most of the teams in the NASL & USSF D2 could look at the list of comments that resonated amongst the attendees and see how their club does in addressing these requests. IMS.com also has a look at what the status is of the 2009 Minnesota Thunder players.

- IMS.com also talks about the rumor that the USSF D2 schedule is coming this week along with some tidbits of how the schedule will lay out.

- The Cary News has a piece on the state of the NASL. I still have a hard time calling the NASL a league right now as they won't have a 2010 season.

- And people complain about the media here in the US going over the line...... I can't believe I'm typing this, but I feel bad for Beckham.
